Good CarbonBy Keithon 2/2/2015

I like the Lignite large particle as it's not as aggressive as the ROX. Great price, I buy in bulk.

Once I got the reactor tuned in, just greatBy japickaon 1/26/2015

I had my reactor input turned up a bit too much and it was tumbling like crazy with the GFO which was grinding it to dust. That made the water hazy, and turned my filter sock gray. Once I readjusted everything and got the flow right, water became crystal clear in less than 4 hours. Great stuff.

Great value By Jasonon 1/8/2015

Jason would recommend this product to a friend

Pound for pound this is a great bargain for carbon. It works well, my water is crystal clear. I don't use a reactor so the larger particle size is what I want. I expected it to be dusty, but I wasn't quite prepared for it to be this dusty. The rinse water ran solid black for a long time. I took more than 30 minutes and who knows how many gallons of water before I felt comfortable putting it in my sump.

Best carbon to buy. Is it really needed over the mid grade not sure. But if you got the extra money why not.

Never knew it until I saw the resultsBy Kennethon 8/14/2014

I actually cannot believe how well this product works. If you were using other carbon before, you may wonder what exactly using this type will do for you. That's how I felt, I just knew I needed to give it a try as I did not like using other brands that were not easy to discern what quality I was getting.

Turns out, you can really see the difference. I noticed the water clarity becoming better than I ever thought or realized how bad it had gotten. Very easy to use, highly recommend to anyone.

Used some other carbon from the LFS, until I wised up.... This is the best value for carbon. Make sure you rinse it though, just like all the rest, and it works great!

better then buying packetsBy CalisFineston 2/12/2014

love it use it in all my systems needs a good rinsing before use but doesnt get into everything like the rox carbon. get a filter sock or a canister and say good buy to prepackaged carbon this stuff is way better.

We use this in conjuction with the small particle lignite. It usually removes all particles within 1-2 days of use. Really clears up the water.

Very pleased!By Michaelon 11/5/2013

One thing I'd like to add (and it is recommended in the instructions for the product on this page--but I somehow glossed over it) is that the carbon seems to work MUCH more effectively with a reduced flow rate. I had mine in a canister filter going at about 120 GPH and thought it was doing fine, until I came across the information about it being more effective with slower flow rates. So, I lowered mine, and you know, within a day or two, my corals look so MUCH healthier and open, so yes, very delighted with the results. I didn't feel I had to rinse it out terribly long, but went though the motions just in case.

CLEARBy Danielon 10/31/2013

I can't think of a more efficient way to clear a tank up. Easy to use. I rinse after it is installed by flowing the output into a bucket, that way I can get a bonus water change in when I change media.

Great CarbonBy BBoyteron 7/18/2013

Bought the 5 gallon, now I don't have to buy anymore for a long time. It is dusty for the first few seconds but clears quickly and works great. 5 gallon bucket does have a seal in to keep it fresh.

I got this carbon and have been running it for 2 weeks now and it seems to be doing a great job.
did not notice to much waste as i rinsed it off either which a plus.

Clears the water and easy to use. As with all carbon it must be risned prior to use so that you get the dust off it

You can't beat the quality and price. I have used brand named carbon with the same results. Make sure you rinse very well.

Takes a few more minutes to rinse By Josephon 1/7/2013

Joseph would recommend this product to a friend

I've used this as well as the BRS Premium ROX 0.8.

They are both great products. However, in a canister filter I did not see sufficient difference between this and the ROX 0.8 to justify the price differential.

If cost is not an issue, then its a no-brainer: buy the ROX

very good mediaBy 241wrasseon 12/22/2012

241wrasse would recommend this product to a friend

Good media, good price buying the 1 gal container. Easy maintenance. Cleans easily: dump the old carbon & remove sponge, then simply dunk the cartridge once into water. I've found it's easiest to clean the sponge by flicking an edge of it with a finger, large particles just jump out/off the sponge - best done in a 5 gal bucket to avoid lignite getting scattered across the room!

Good stuffBy Gregon 10/22/2012

Greg would recommend this product to a friend

Rinse well before use, but it works really well. I see a noticeable difference in my water clarity after using it for a day or so. I've used it in both a BRS reactor and a filter bag.

The lignite does keep my tank real clean, however it still has a bit of dust. I do like the value of the lignite.

Just switched to this carbon and the difference is amazing. It quickly washes out the dust and is easy to put into the BRS media reactor. Definitely will buy again!

I just started using this carbon (large) particle on my 120g reef. Im using a small canister with a small rio pump to push the water through it very slowly as long contact time is what you want with carbon. It is keeping my tank crystal clear. It is easy to rinse and I change it out every 2 weeks.

Good balance of cost to performanceBy Leeon 6/18/2012

Lee would recommend this product to a friend

Like any material the duration is based on concentration of compounds you want to remove in contrast to the volume of media. I find this grade to be a good balance in performance to value/cost.

great carbonBy Darrellon 5/26/2012

Darrell would recommend this product to a friend

I have used BRS carbon for a long time. I normally used small particle, but decided to try the large this time. much better in my opinion. It contains a lot less dust and risnses clean a lot easier. and the larger particles dont try to work their way through the foam pad in my TLF reactor. I'm not a scientist, but I cannot tell any performance difference between large and small particle. my frag tank had a terrible odor since I have been out of carbon for a while. after placing carbon in tank the odor was gone in less than an hour! great carbon!

Crystal clear water... no jokeBy lordofthereefon 2/12/2012

lordofthereef would recommend this product to a friend

I first purchased some of this about a year and a half ago as part of a club group buy. I had been feeding formula one pellets and noticed a greenish tint to the water. Wasn;t sure if it was algae bloom or tint, but figured this was worth a shot. Within a few hours, the water was crystal clear. At first I ran this in a TLF phosban reactor, but have since moved to a simple sock in a high flow area, which seems to be doing the trick as well.

I was a faithful Kent customer for years. The quality of BRS carbon far surpasses my former brand. In using the Lignite, I have noticed it lasts longer than Kents' product and the price point is far superior. Better quality at a lower price, can't beat it....

Well this is the first time I have ever used carbon like this. I liked it, not too dusty, just ran it under some RO water for a bit in the bag and put it in the sump under the return from the tank.

Jetthril would recommend this product to a friend

I have been using this carbon for about a year now in a mesh bag placed in the back sump of my 34 gallon solana tank. It has been a tremendous help in keeping unwanted impurities out of my system.
Just be sure to wash out the new carbon before using it, this product does come with a little dust, but it doesn't take away from the great value and performance a bit!
Get it, you won't regret it!
